Public

FRIDAY, JULY 17TH FROM 10:00AM- 12:00PM. The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) invites you to participate in a public workshop to provide input on CARB’s development of the Clean Miles Standard, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation network company (TNC) services. Staff will present updated preliminary GHG and electric vehicle miles traveled (eVMT) targets, as well as additional provisions of the regulation, including potential credits and exemptions for small companies. Staff will request stakeholder comments following the workshop to be submitted to [email protected] through August 20, 2020. Staff’s presentation and any additional workshop-related documents will be posted prior to the workshop day on CARB’s Clean Miles Standard website. This public meeting will be conducted via GoToWebinar. Please register as an attendee prior to the start of the workshop using the link provided. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar.

Background

Senate Bill (SB) 1014 (Skinner, 2018) – the Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program – requires CARB to develop and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to implement a GHG reduction program for TNCs. As part of SB 1014, CARB established a base year GHG emission inventory in January 2020 for the TNC sector on a per-passenger-mile basis. SB 1014 directs CARB to adopt GHG per passenger mile reduction and percent eVMT targets for TNCs by January 1, 2021. Staff anticipates achieving GHG goals through increased use of zero-emission vehicles and increased pooling, as well as use of transit and micromobility modes facilitated by the TNCs. The Clean Miles Standard regulatory proposal, currently being developed, is scheduled for Board consideration in December 2020.

This regulation will be designed to support the goals set forth in SB 32, which requires California to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The transportation sector is the largest GHG emissions category and accounts for almost 50 percent of GHG emissions in California when accounting for fuel production. Light-duty vehicles make up over half of the transportation sector’s emissions. In 2018, TNCs contributed approximately 1 percent of GHG emissions in the light-duty vehicle sector.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 22 AT 1:00PM PT. Join the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC), ACT News, and sponsors Ballard and Black & Veatch for a webinar discussing the vision for large scale hydrogen. With all the talk of hydrogen at scale, and sector coupling on a grand scale, how can hydrogen achieve a self-sustaining future? What if multiple uses of hydrogen enable it to be the affordable energy solution, driven by economics, at a self-sustaining scale?

Participants in this webinar will:
• Explore the ultimate vision for a fiscally sustainable hydrogen future at scale
• Hear from a real-world hydrogen end user discussing their experience and company growth using hydrogen to move goods
• Learn how hydrogen gas turbines are helping Los Angeles utility LADWP meet clean energy goals starting in 2025 through the Intermountain Power Project

REGISTER HERE

THURSDAY, JULY 9 AT 3:00PM PT. Settle in with a refreshment and join this casual conversation on hydrogen’s growing role in providing energy solutions that span multiple industries. Where are we seeing new projects? How big of a part does solar play in hydrogen’s expansion? Let’s discuss.

Featuring Bill Elrick, Executive Director of the California Fuel Cell Partnership and Nick Barilo, Executive Director of the Center for Hydrogen Safety

WEDNESDAY, JULY 15TH FROM 1:00PM - 4:00PM. The California Energy Commission (CEC) will conduct a workshop to discuss energy resilience inrelation to zero emission vehicles (ZEV) and the “three revolutions” of transportation electrification,automation, and mobility as a service. The workshop is part of the CEC’s 2020 Integrated EnergyPolicy Report Update (2020 IEPR Update ) proceeding.

A quorum of Commissioners may participate, but no votes will be taken at the workshop.

The workshop will be held remotely, consistent with Executive Orders N-25-20 and N-29-20 andthe recommendations from the California Department of Public Health to encourage physicaldistancing to slow the spread of COVID-19. The public is able to participate and observe theworkshop consistent with the direction in these Executive Orders. Instructions for remoteparticipation are provided below.

The three-part workshop will be held over two days
